During his long broadcasting career, Gay was at the forefront of breaking pop-culture news.
In 1962 he became the first person to introduce The Beatles on Television when they appeared on his show People and Places in the UK.
In 1993, on The Late Late Show, he famously presented Boyzone to the Irish public for the first time.
Tonight, a tribute episode of the Late Late Show will air in honor of the broadcaster.
